Justice For Dwarfs

Royal, reactionary Hungary, the kingdom without a King, overflows with secret societies and patriotic leagues. Three months ago an old one reappeared, known as the Society of Awakened Magyars, a chief tenet of which was that all unmarried Hungarian girls over 12 should wear chastity belts. Last week brought another when along the cafe fronts of the Corso marched a stalwart line of little people no higher than the table tops with banners at their head marked "JUSTICE FOR DWARFS," "MIDGETS,AWAKE!"

Down to the Elizabeth Bridge and back again paraded the midgets, with their scowling Fiihrer (leader) in the van. Too proud to crane his neck, the Hungarian half-pint Hitler stared straight at reporters' knees and explained the program of the National Union of Hungarian Dwarfs:

1) Racial purity by means of a law to prevent contamination through marriages between "true submen'' and undersized adults.

2) Reasonable homes for midgets, with shorter steps, lower door handles and windowsills 18 in. from the ground.

3) Justice for Dwarfs in the form of half priced tickets in trains, trolleys, cinemas, theatres.

4) A law to compel department stores to stock ready-made midget clothing. Proudly the Midget Hitler claimed that he had 250 members of his league already, announced an international congress for 1935, when 10,000 midgets from all over the world are to assemble in a Budapest bowling alley.
